And the follow-on question is, why did UA choose IAE's for its Airbuses, when the vast majority of Airbuses use CFM56s, and UA already had a zillion CFM56s on its second-generation 737s? It can't be a "Buy American" issue since both CFM and IAE are U.S. + non-U.S. consortiums... -- Michael C. Berch mcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
